As the glare of the international spotlight shines on Copenhagen as COP15 begins, meeting professionals will be watching in earnest to see how the Bella Center has equipped itself to cope with not only the demands of an international summit, but also one with climate change at the heart of its agenda.

But will it be enough to combat the criticism already being levelled at a number of the conference's higher profile delegates - whose use of private charters, jets and limos leave a darker shadow on the green streets of Copenhagen?
